Chapter 46 The Scorpion on the Wanted list. Are You Planning to Snatch It in the Open?
These words were quite rude. The Huang sisters were shy girls. Their snow-white cheeks were flushed red. They were angry like a light pink plum blooming in the snow.
Huang Zhiyun was quick-tempered. She immediately stood up from her chair. “What do you mean by that?”
The man glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. Huang Zhiyun was so angry that her body trembled. She almost rushed forward to find someone to argue with, but she was stopped by Huang Zhirou. “Could it be that the spirit stones can’t compete with us, so she wants to use her lip service? It was really laughable, she spoke gently. She sat there like a demure magnolia, but her words were like a prickly cactus. It could be said that she had hit the nail on the head.
The man’s face immediately darkened. It was obvious that he had been hit on the spot.
Huang Zhiyun seemed to have found her confidence. She made a face. “That’s right. Whoever offers the highest price will be able to get it. Even if we don’t know how, what can we do? It’s not bad for it to be placed at home.”
The man’s face turned pale from the words of the two sisters. He gritted his teeth and said, “That wretched girl is quite sharp-tongued.”
He clenched his fists tightly, and a murderous look flashed across his eyes. He seemed to have thought of something and looked around. After a moment, he revealed a sinister smile.
“If that’s the case, then don’t blame me for destroying the flowers. You’re still young and don’t know manners. I’ll teach you a lesson on behalf of the elders in your clan!”
From what he said, he wanted to snatch the incomplete ‘Golden Dipper Art’. Huang Zhiyun sensed a hint of danger and immediately put on a vigilant expression. The others also had a different expression when they heard that.
“No way. Is there anyone who would snatch things when they can’t buy anything these days?”
It was not uncommon for people to kill others for treasures. It was the same for the auction house. Some people had auctioned off precious treasures, and on their way back, they encountered incidents where others intercepted and snatched their treasures. However, very few people would openly take action in the auction house.
Moreover, this was still Qingyang City, and it was not like the village that Lin Mo had stayed in before. In a small place like that, even if they caused an uproar in the auction house, it would not be a big deal. However, anyone who provoked them here would easily alert the city
guards.
It would cause a big problem if they were expelled. They might even be forever denied entry into Qingyang City. “He dared to offend the Huang clan? Isn’t he afraid that the Huang clan will find trouble with him? Moreover, the city guards aren’t existences to be trifled with.”
Most people thought that the man was spouting vicious words. Even Huang Zhiyun thought so. “Who do you think you are to teach us a lesson? Do you believe that I’ll…”
Before he could finish his sentence, a surge of immense force came over, carrying with it the power to uproot mountains and rivers. If Huang Zhirou had not been prepared and hurriedly pulled Huang Zhiyun away, she might have already been injured by the force.
However, the people around him did not have such luck. With the man as the center, a huge stream of energy swept around like a tsunami, devouring everything that came its way.
No one had expected him to suddenly make a move. The stream of energy landed heavily on his body, shifting hisinternal organs. In an instant, he was thrown more than ten meters away.
Some of the people with decent cultivation took a few steps back and managed to narrowly avoid it. Only then did they manage to stabilize their bodies.
“Why are you like this? Aren’t you afraid of hurting the Innocent?”
The man revealed a bloodthirsty smile and glared at the Huang sisters. “So what if I attack? Who can stop me?”
The crowd was infuriated by his arrogance. “Do you still regard the law in your eyes?”
The facial features on his face began to shift. In the blink of an eye, he had changed into a different expression. The feeling of anger on everyone’s faces gradually turned into fear.
He let out a strange laugh that made people shudder. “The law? I’m the law!”
Someone recognized him and screamed, “Isn’t that Scorpion on the wanted list?!”
There was a bandit in the auction this time. No wonder he was so arrogant. After all, bandits rob people.
This person’s nickname was “Scorpion”. He was ranked at the top of the wanted list in Qingyang City. He roamed around the surrounding towns and could be said to have committed all kinds of evil. Many people had heard of his great name, and they wanted nothing more than to bring this person to justice.
However, this person was extremely cunning and had always been at large. No matter if it was Qingyang City or the mercenaries, they could not do anything to him. Who would have thought that he would suddenly appear here? Although Xie Zi was fat, he was clearly not weak. He was at least at the fourth level spirit gathering realm. “What bad luck I have to meet a bandit in disguise while participating in the auction.”

“I heard that Xie Zi is very powerful. Even with so many people present, we’re still not his match.”
The crowd discussed animatedly, and fear appeared on their faces. Seeing this scene, Xie Zi was very pleased. “Hurry up and hand over the ‘Golden Shield Technique’, or else don’t blame me for starting a massacre!”
Of course, he was not acting rashly. His identity was exposed in a moment of hot-hotheadedness. He had already observed previously that there was no expert in this auction house.
The people participating in the auction this time were the younger generation of the four great clans. It was more than enough to deal with them. If they were elders or clan leaders, Xie Zi absolutely would not dare to expose himself.
When he obtained the cultivation technique, he would immediately slip away. When the guards in the city arrived, they would be too late to stop him.
“Just give it to him. Just consider yourself unlucky. Don’t lose your life because of an incomplete cultivation technique.”
“That’s right. In any case, there’s nothing that can’t be bought with spirit stones. Why do we have to fight over this ‘Golden Dipper technique?” Everyone began to persuade the Huang sisters.
